About Seventh Lair
From NOVECT, the creators of the highly acclaimed The House in Fata Morgana, comes Seventh Lair, a tongue-in-cheek, but emotional look at the online interactions between an indie game developer and fans!
Dark†Knight, 27 years old, an indie game developer beginning to grow apprehensive about his lack of success. His life is on the bottom rung of society, and his career hangs on by a thread, but it's all about to take a positive turn when one of his very enthusiastic female fans reaches out.
The creative process was once driven by a vague desire to be recognized, but now he has real inspiration in his feelings for her, and in 2013 he knew he could make a hit unlike any other.
On his website, "Royaume Heaven", the regulars tended to go overboard with their critique on the forum page. After Dark†Knight's own involvement took a steep drop, one of the worst trolls, J.B kept pushing and pushing. "Come on you hack creator, hurry up and spit out a new game."
Then at last, Dark†Knight responded with a single comment.
"I'll have a new release on April Fool's"
On the day of April 1st. The newly uploaded game file was entitled "Seventh Lair". But the moment the download was performed, Dark†Knight and the others were sucked into an RPG-like realm...!
This Meta-Fantasy explores raw emotion and despair, in the context of our interactions on the web.
"A true masterpiece doesn't ask permission to move people."

✦ AI summary
Fans of The House in Fata Morgana series generally appreciate this spinoff for delivering more content in the same universe with an original soundtrack, though they acknowledge the story isn't as compelling as the main games and relies on reused character sprites. The experience seems aimed squarely at devoted series fans rather than newcomers, with satisfaction depending heavily on one's attachment to the original work and tolerance for a lighter, more comedic narrative.
Is there a single universe where these characters are happy?13 found this helpful

If you love The House in Fata Morgana games to death like I did, you'll enjoy this one. Though the story isn't as strong as the main series, it was nice to see the art of the characters again and despite being a bit of a joke story, it's still a Fata Morgana game. Though the sprites are reused assets, the soundtrack is original and there are some pretty good tracks in it. Land of Nowhere honestly clears some tracks from the main series. If even the Carrot Cake story didn't fully quench your cravings for more Fata Morgana content, give this one a shot.1 found this helpful
I thought the story would be goofy, and yes it is goofy until it took a heavy disturbing unexpected turn :0
It’s been about five years since I played Fata Morgana(I don’t own it on Steam) and it is still my favourite visual media. If you loved Fata Morgana, this is absolutely worth your time
keika hanada is the best writer ive ever seen
